Just bought an '87 Saab 900 Turbo. Looking to change the transmission fluid.
Hey all. Totally new to this forum, and to Saabs in general. I recently just purchased a Saab 900 Turbo (automatic) with 19k miles. I've been doing all the basic tune up and maintenance for it before I put it on the road (plugs, plug wires, oil + filter, air filter, etc.)
I've hit a brick wall currently, I'm not sure what engine transmission oil to get. The owners manual I printed (I don't have the original) suggests:
8 liters [of] "Fluid to Ford M2C.33F/G"
And also:
1.4 liters [of] EP oil SAE 80W or 75 API GL-4 or GL-5
Questions:
(1) Why does it require two different oils?
(2) should I change both?
(3) What type of oil would you recommend? What the manual recommended are not types of oil i am familiar with.
Please educate me! :D
